Magazine EDITORIAL³ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄij The Houston Area 713 BBS List (c) will be the subject of a feature in an upcoming issue of BOARDWATCH MAGAZINE. I was contacted by Brian Gallagher, BOARDWATCH MAGAZINE's associate editor earlier this week. Brian seemed impressed with the number of Houston systems, and eager to print the OFFICIAL HOUSTON AREA 713 BBS LIST in the now world-wide circulated BOARDWATCH. I've seen this list jump from 300 systems to over 500 in what seems like a blink of an eye. While the volume of systems in Houston varies from month to month (actually, more like day to day), it is quite apparent to even most outsiders that Houston Texas is a serious BBS community. Being the keeper of a BBS list can be a trying job. It is a responsibility I don't take lightly, which is why I enlisted the services of Charles Wharton to become associate editor several months back. Being the keeper of a BBS list can also place you in a position of being the target of any immature wanna-be SysOp who thinks operating a BBS is just a matter of plugging in a modem, configuring any cheap software he can lay his hands on, and hoping all of his little boy friends will call, when and if his BBS "happens" to be on-line. This is specifically the reason we do not list part-time BBS systems in the Houston Area 713 BBS List (c). A part-time system isn't a serious attempt at operating an on-line information system. Its a kids toy. A play thing. The BBS List keeper also seems to become the defacto-ombudsman of BBS land. Any user who has been screwed by an unscrupulous SysOp, or felt that they were somehow treated unfairly by a SysOp, come crying to the BBS List keeper with their tail between their legs. Grow up people. I am NOT the Houston BBS Ombudsman, nor do I think there should be one. Each BBS is operated by each SysOp as he or she sees fit. If you find that you don't agree with a SysOp of any particular BBS, simply don't call that BBS. Don't come crying to me that so-and-so hurt your iddy-bitty little feelings. Dial on down the road. Get a life. If you think a SysOp is breaking the law, notify the proper authorities, not ME. You who are without sin make the first phone call. But leave me out of it. Regulation is around the corner folks. Thank God. This is one activity that needs to be regulated, and I hope a good portion of the "little boy" boards are closed once and for all. We need professional SysOps, not a bunch of Bevis and Buttheads that make up a good portion of the Houston BBS community. You know who you are, Bevis and Buttheads. Grow up, act responsible or leave the BBS business to the growing number of professionals in this business. We care about the future of on line information services, and don't want this business turned into a kiddy show. Regulation, don't be slow. --David Wachenschwanz, Editor (david.wachenschwanz@atomiccafe.com) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Checking the calendar...

That date, July 29, marks when the U.S. Bankruptcy Court accepted filing by NVN for bankruptcy under federal Chapter 7, we have some activity! NVN's case identification is (Corporation/Partnership No Asset Case) Case Number: 94-45141 rfw. One of the sleepy creditors of the would-be Compuserve competitor has asked not to attend the long dance marathon that is trying to squeeze blood from one of these Chapter 7 turnips. NVN's creditors met for the first time on September 13 in the Lyric Center downtown, office of the trustee. Some salesperson for Hewlett-Packard Company set NVN up with $247,580 in nine leases of computer equipment. Don't you know that salesperson has been getting much applause in HP meetings lately? HP has filed for relief from the stay against collecting from the bewildered would-be on-line power, NVN. As the bankruptcy court already has published, "AT THIS TIME THERE APPEAR TO BE NO ASSETS AVAILABLE FROM WHICH PAYMENT MAY BE MADE TO UNSECURED CREDITORS." "Hewlett-Packard Company respectfully requests that the Court enter an order modifying the automatic stay as to the Equipment described in Exhibit "A" (You have to write the court to get this exhibit.), authorizing Hewlett-Packard Company to take possession of the Equipment..." the lawyers wrote to the court. Now, how'd you like to be one of NVN's creditors and have these characters step in and tell the court they need out of this bankruptcy stuff? Let all these other bozos fight it out. We realize our idiotic salesperson should have been keeping up with this account and realized these NVN nerds were going belly up. But just let us have our stuff and get on with life. Also, what the devil did the bankruptcy court mean when this thing was filed that "AT THIS TIME THERE APPEAR TO BE NO ASSETS AVAILABLE..."? What do the court authorities think $247,580 in HP hardware represents? Moldy cheese? Is anyone awake in this bankruptcy process? Most of this stuff has been written in lawyer-nerdspeak, but this explanation makes some sense. "Pursuant to...(federal code)...the Court shall grant relief from the automatic stay if (A) the debtor does not have an equity in such property; and (B) such property is not necessary to an effective reorganization. The Debtor has no equity in the Equipment and the Equipment is not necessary to an effective reorganization as the Debtor's bankruptcy case was filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code." Hewlett-Packard went on to tell the court that this equipment could depreciate and lose value by becoming 'antiquated'. The court set HP's hearing on this motion for 9 a.m., October 11, Courtroom 400, Floor 4 of the U.S. Courthouse, 515 Rusk Avenue in Houston. Those objecting to the stay had to file an affidavit with the court clerk at least five days before the hearing. The affidavit had to show that objectors had conferred with HP in a 'good faith effort to reach an agreement', showing dates and times of conferences; and then show that the efforts were unsuccessful and that a hearing is required. One fine day, not so long ago, U.S. Videotel asked people to join in the dream of Houston hosting its own Compuserve, of at least minor-league proportion. On to society's toilet went that idea, along with Houston's college football tournament, the Bluebonnet Bowl and even professional football's Bud Dome of downtown Houston. Boy, oh boy! Stay tuned to see what happens. I've already predicted that, instead of reorganization, NVN's leaders will pack up and head back home to the Middle East. I'm not shy to remind you that I predicted this bankruptcy protection filing, as published in Connect! magazine, in July. But some of my predictions have turned out wrong. Maybe HP will end up buying NVN out and making it the minor-league Compuserve we all hoped it would become. If they'd do that, maybe they'll buy the Oilers Superbowl memorabilia I produced and had poised for the market last year, too.

Nine scientists and engineers from the nuclear weapons laboratories at Arzamas-16 and Chelyabinsk-70 and the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy have been at Los Alamos since August 29 for the training, which caps two years of discussions, education and transfer of emergency response equipment. The equipment includes an x-ray system for examining damaged weapons or weapons components, video fiberscopes for visual inspections, portable radiation detectors, a special liquid rubber to stabilize high- explosives, protecting clothing and operational training manuals trans- lated into Russian. Although designed for use by the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons Accident Response Group at Los Alamos and other DOE facilities, the equipment and training will improve confidence in the safety and security of both the Russian and U.S. programs for dismantling their remaining nuclear weapons. Speaking through an interpreter, team leader German Plaksitski of the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy said the training program is one concrete example of the high-priority effort by Russian and U.S. governments to ensure the safety of their nuclear arsenals. "I believe the work we're doing together here at Los Alamos provides excellent proof of the friendly relations that exist today between our two countries, even in such a sensitive area as nuclear weapons tech- nology," Plaksitski said. Plaksitski expressed gratitude to Los Alamos scientists and engineers for transfer of the training and safety equipment, some of which weren't familiar to members of his team. "Los Alamos has developed unique, cutting-edge equipment and techniques that have vastly increased the safety of nuclear weapons during transport and dismantlement," Plaksitski said. "Our nuclear specialists have a high regard for the quality and potential value of the radiographic equipment and other technologies." By sharing their experiences and technologies in nuclear weapons emergency response, the U.S. and Russian experts are making more cost- effective use of the shrinking weapons complexes in both nations. "This cooperative program between Los Alamos and Russia and the role Los Alamos has played in international safeguards has a direct impact on weapons safety, with global benefits," Plaksitski said. "Los Alamos' activities in this area make the world a safer place." In June 1992, presidents Bush and Yeltsin formally agreed to collaborate on technologies and training for safe and secure transportation, storage and destruction of nuclear weapons and prevention of proliferation. After preliminary discussions in Russia and equipment demonstrations in the United States, Russian officials requested specific equipment and training that would improve Russian response to accidents involving nuclear weapons. Los Alamos has been heavily involved in providing the technical expertise needed to implement the agreement, which is known variously as the Safe and Secure Dismantlement initiative and the Cooperative Threat Reduction initiative. "It is in the interests of both sides and the rest of the world to provide this equipment to Russia, and we hope these tools will speed up the safe and secure dismantlement of Russian nuclear weapons," said Paul White of Los Alamos' Nuclear Weapons Technology Program. "This program not only fits perfectly within the Laboratory's mission of reducing the nuclear danger, but it allows our accident response team to upgrade its capabilities, standardize equipment and develop training materials for our own use," White added. The Los Alamos equipment can be used at a remote location in harsh weather conditions. The designs and training take into account a wide range of scenarios, such as a damaged weapon that is spreading radio- active materials, a weapon trapped inside accident debris, and associated hazards such as fuels or chemicals. The equipment is designed to assess radiological contamination at the scene of a nuclear weapons accident, to evaluate the condition of weapons or components, and to stabilize and move them to safe and secure storage. For the past two weeks, the Los Alamos team and the Russian visitors have been working with a compact, rugged radiographic system that can be taken to an accident scene to obtain high-resolution x-ray pictures of the insides of a weapon or a container with weapons components. The equipment, based on a six-million-electron-volt linear accelerator that generates the x-rays, includes automatic film-processing equipment, an electronic system for instant viewing or saving of x-ray images, and portable generators. These x-rays are essential in evaluating the condition of a damaged weapon and deciding the safest course of action for stabilizing and moving it. The Russian federal nuclear centers already have received most of the other equipment, which includes: *820 suits of protective clothing, chemically resistive coveralls, boots gloves and ice vests; *Four fiberscope systems that consist of a flexible optical probe, a high-intensity light source and a video camera and monitor for recording images from inaccessible areas, such as inside a damaged weapon; *30 gallons of RTV-12, a liquid silicone rubber that can be poured into damaged high explosives to stabilize them mechanically for safe trans- portation; and *100 Violinist-III kits, rugged portable radiation detectors with sophisticated electronics that permit detection and analysis of plutonium in the field. Developed at Los Alamos, the Violinist-III can be used to survey an accident scene for plutonium contamination to ensure proper safety measures are taken by emergency response crews. Funds for the training and equipment are provided by the Department of Defense through its Defense Nuclear Agency under the Nunn-Lugar Nuclear Threat Reduction Act. Los Alamos' Engineering Science and Applications Division and members of the Department of Energy's Accident Response Group also are providing similar training and some equipment to scientists from Belarus, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine. White and Plaksitski emphasized the high degree of cooperation between the Los Alamos team and its Russian counterparts, and the excellent personal and working relationships. "These close personal and institutional relationships are at least as important as any technical assistance," White said. "These relation- ships will outlast the technical programs or governmental agreements that we may be working on at any given moment." Plaksitski agreed, and added that Russia's nuclear scientists deeply appreciate the confidence and the close cooperation shown by Los Alamos and the U.S. government. "At this point, we have agreements with several countries in the area of dismantlement, but we have not received one piece of equipment from anybody else," Plaksitski said. "The United States has delivered on all of its commitments." ß advertisement ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ATTENTION TBBS/TDBS SYSOPS! ³ ³ George Peace's MASTER FILE MANAGER ³ ³ offers total control over your file ³ ³ downloads/uploads! ³ ³ MFM makes the handling of CD-ROMs on ³ ³ your BBS especially easy.

Which of those do you guess got me the most negative E-Mail? The NVN-U.S. Videotel bankruptcy updates? The critique of the Houston Area League of PC Users (HAL-PC)? Give up? The most negative E-Mail I've received concerned one paragraph in a BBS review where I said this about using handles (aliases): ============================================================================= The most intriguing thing I found on HOWL!! -- handles, or aliases, are encouraged. It's really refreshing to find a computer bulletin board system in board-rich Houston that has a responsive, vibrant user-population, but doesn't need to require users to leave their real names. Most boards with this policy will find kids and perverted adults logging on to hurl obscenities through the cyberspace. But not HOWL!! The users argue with each other during debates, such as on abortion. But the users appear to remain friends, recognizable personalities within their aliases. And if they aren't friends, at least they're friendly. ============================================================================= My thought that really yanked E-Mailers' chains: Most boards with this policy will find kids and perverted adults logging on to hurl obscenities through the cyberspace. Like I say, this really yanked off some folks who specialize in handle-backed BBS conversations. In fact, most of the E-Mailers told me that they never join a board or on-line service that doesn't offer them handle-usage. Since Atomic Cafe, my Houston home board, doesn't offer this (except in certain on-line games) they E-Mailed me mostly through the Internet under their handles. I had reviewed HOWL!! That BBS's users told me they appreciated my good recommendation of this board, while qualifying that they disagreed with my statement that 'most boards' allowing exclusive handles usage gets a lot of anonymous flames from kids and perverted adults. I seek now to compare those passages I cited from HOWL!! in the previous review with one sexually-oriented BBS, FOREPLAY, which I chose at random by scrolling rapidly through the Houston 713-Area Code BBS List until I found an obvious sexually-oriented BBS offering exclusive handles usage. Since I didn't hang around FOREPLAY long enough to get special adult-type access, I obviously didn't get through to the most obscene areas (hot chat, sexual come-ons of various groupings). This will make it fair when compared to the friendly, responsible conversation on HOWL!! Here's a few HOWL!! messages: ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ...the messages that moved me most appeared in the area called "BaBy FoddeR Foo-Foo :-). Here they debated abortion. HOWL!! user Fred has this to say, among many other comments: ======================================================================= The lives of those innocent babies are more important than those of the few murderous mothers who find it necessary to murder any way they can. =========================================================================== Among user Susan's comments in reply appear: ======================================================================= Fred, you seem to have a lot to say, and with complete sentences and all like that. However, I do wish you would define your terms. ============================================================================ Of course, you can have abortion debates on any board. But what makes HOWL!! worth calling, reading and maybe even contributing, comes when a user in Howl's unique spirit, like Homer The Brave, enters the abortion debate with a surprising and unique opinion: ======================================================================= WHO will SPEAK for the poor RABBIT, killed for the CONVENIENCE of the might-be mother, JUST so she can KNOW WHETHER OR NOT she needs an ABORTION!!!1!@ =========================================================================== =========================================================================== Now compare with the tenor of some messages on FOREPLAY, also with handles usage: (From Main Menu) Ooooh yeah! Dontcha just love it when your lover talks dirty to you? Come on! Join in on the conversations! (From Conference called 'Ain't Life a Bitch!' From : Stroker To : Valentina Subject : Why?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ V> Dear boy, its to make up for ALL the nights we get left hanging becau V> you guys can come in three strokes, then roll over and go to sleep. : A-men to that SISTER!... Thank GOD for a QUICK and easy time..

Thinking, maybe it has sumfin to do with my Surgeries, and the fact that being in awkward positions hurts my body like HELL. ======================================================================== From : Prozack To : D.W Subject : jjj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ D> Well now it is only too sticky if you are not enjoying what you are D> being stuck to. Words of Wisdom fom a man who knows. Have you ever been stuck to someone who was a sadiomasicist? Its not fun...and it spoils it for everyone else who likes peanutbutter! Though I was in hell raiser 3 the whole night! Now THAT is experience! Prozack' ======================================================================== Well alright. I know what a lot of you are saying. Given the context that this public discussion on FOREPLAY, available to all without the adult access, could read a more explicitly and still not rate 'perverted' in this day and age. OK, then. I revise my opinion that most boards allowing exclusive handles usage consist of nasty-talking kids and perverted adults. Using a short, random sampling, it appears they have used their anonymity responsibly and seem pretty harmless. I wish some of them could spell a little better, though! So until next time when I outrage you with another example of bigoted, blanket statement, I'm dialing down the road. Chuck Wharton will review a different Houston BBS system here each month. If you have comments, leave email for Charles Wharton on THE ATOMIC CAFE, or send to him via FidoNet at 1:106/235, or via the Internet as charles.wharton@ atomiccafe.com ß ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄij CONNECT! Magazine THE HOUSTON AREA 713 BBS LIST (c)³ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄij CALLING A BBS AND YOU CAN'T GET AN ANSWER? Many System Operators will take their BBS down during thunderstorm activity. We encourage SysOps to take their phone line "off hook" to busy the line out during these periods of non- service. Some do, some don't. If you can't get through, try again later. If you are the SysOp of a BBS and wish to have your system listed in Houston's largest and most accurate BBS list, call THE ATOMIC CAFE BBS at 713- 530-8875. Log on under your real name, and answer the registration informat- ion. Then, from the top level menu, select . You will then be at the Houston Area 713 BBS List (c) Center. Select <4> to add a system or to change your system. Select <5> to remove your system from the list. In either case, you will be asked to answer a questionnaire for EACH line you wish to list. The service is FREE. We reserve the right to refuse to list any system that we feel may be inappropriate to list. Here are a few other things to keep in mind ... *FidoNet BBS systems dedicate one hour a day to mail exchange. That hour is normally from 4-5 a.m. central time, or 3-4 a.m. central daylight time. Most FidoNet nodes will not accept a call from a human user during that time, but does allow other computers on the network to connect to exchange mail. *Numbers that ring constantly over a period of a few days are removed from the list due to the fact that the system may have been de-commissioned and that number may now be a voice line. We cannot take a chance on that. *If you encounter a human voice on a line listed herein as a BBS, please let us know. Send the number and the name of the system to: Houston Area 713 BBS List (c), P. O. Box 720894, Houston Texas 77072. Or send Internet email to d.wachenschwanz@atomiccafe.com; FidoNet email to David Wachenschwanz @ FidoNet node 1:106/235; or call 713-530-8875, The Atomic Cafe BBS and register as a new user. *There is no charge for accessing The Atomic Cafe to do this. We do very much appreciate your assistance in keeping the Houston Area 713 BBS List (c) up to date and as accurate as possible. *Houston is a VERY VOLATILE BBS market. Systems up one day may be down for good on the next. For every system to goes down, there are usually 2 or 3 to replace it. Therefore, it is vital that you always do your BBS dialing from a RECENT list.
